“It should be a priority of the US govt to secure his safe release, which is why tomorrow I am traveling to #ElSalvador. My hope is to visit Kilmar & check on his wellbeing & to hold constructive conversations w/govt ofcls around his release. We must urgently continue working to return Kilmar safely home to Maryland,” #VanHollen continued.

Interesting take from Evan Bernick:

Nobody should think that Judge #Xinis is ensuring that #KilmarAbregoGarcía stays in #ElSalvador for 2 weeks.

Xinis is banking on the government not wanting to spend 2 weeks in #discovery.

Either they just make the call & get him back, or they spend 2 weeks creating a public record of their own fuck ups & end up getting sanctioned.

I also seriously doubt any of #Trump’s ofcls want to give sworn #depositions.

Judge #Xinis asks to Ensign [#DOJ] what he would take away from the Oval Office meeting yesterday. Xinis doesn't think it counts as evidence. Ensign says he shows position of #ElSalvador...they don't want to release "terrorists"

Xinis: If I make finding of contempt, it will be based on record before me. And I don't consider the transcript you gave me 15mins ago to be sufficient.

Continued thread

The #DOJ submitted its declaration to Judge Xinis. #ICE official Joe Mazzara says that if #KilmarAbregoGarcia *presented* [magically?] at a US port of entry today, #DHS would detain him, "remove him to a third country" or end the block on his #deportation & ship him back to #ElSalvador.

So that is what they’re claiming now is the reason for why they won’t facilitate bringing him back to the #UnitedStates.

Reminder that a contingent of America's finest MAGA conspiracy theorists flew to El Salvador to celebrate Nayib Bukele's victory over his country's constitutional term limits in June of 2024.

* Donald Trump, Jr.
* Tucker Carlson
* Matt Gaetz (R-Florida)
* Mike Lee (R-Utah)

This was the moment people like me who were aware of the Bukele regime's crypto corruption started getting worried about American Republicans' newfound admiration of Salvadoran #fascism.
